Russia has been accused of using disproportionately more minority ethnic groups during the Russo-Ukrainian War[1], with Buryatia, Kalmykia (both Mongolic regions) and Dagestan having the highest number of casualties per capita.[2]
During the 2022 Russian mobilization, minority areas such as Kalmykia had multiple times more men conscripted than majority Slavic areas, with some Kalmyk villages being depopulated by 20%[3].

Erendjenov told us that "we see the disproportionality with a naked eye… from our [ethnic minority] regions we had three, four times more men taken [than from Slavic regions]." Erendjenov noted that some villages in Kalmykia had been depopulated by roughly 20 percent since the beginning of the mobilization.
